Chapter 90: Chinese New Year's Eve (1) [2nd Update]
There are a lot of people in the kitchen, and they are busy, and Jiang Feng first saw that there were at least three cooking masters, plus helpers, messengers, and stewards, it seemed that the originally large kitchen was a little crowded.
"Does Xiao Wang have a cut sweet potato?" Jiang Huiqin grabbed a familiar helper and asked.
"Yes, Master Chen just cut it, young grandma, I'll get it for you. Xiao Wang stopped what he was doing and went to get the cut sweet potato for Jiang Huiqin.
"Huiqin, do you have anything you want me to help with?" Li Mingyi was also a little eager to try.
"Stand next to you, be careful that you get dirty from the oil splashing on your clothes. Jiang Huiqin pointed him out of the stove, "Last time I made sea cucumber hibiscus custard, I asked you to beat me an egg, and you also got one, which caused me to be scolded by my mother." ”
Li Ming sneered, and obediently stood to the place pointed by Jiang Huiqin: "Isn't it the first time for me, only one has two, won't I get it if I study it twice?"
"Forget it, your hands are holding a pen to write, and you will have to take the university entrance examination next year! It's good to be able to pick up vegetables, and I have to study two more times, so my mother has to forbid me to enter the kitchen!" Jiang Huiqin said with a smile, seeing that Xiao Wang brought the cut sweet potato, she didn't go to see Li Mingyi to see the sweet potato.
The sweet potatoes have been cut into two-centimeter-wide hob pieces by Master Chen, who is an old chef in Taifeng Building, who came from the Northeast to Beiping with Jiang Chengde, and only agreed to the Li family to come here to be a chef because of Jiang Huiqin's face.
Although the imperial court is now dead, the widows of the noble children of Beiping City are still everywhere, and Li Mingyi's grandfather was just a five-grade Hanlin back then, and he was not enough to see in Beiping City.
"Master Chen, I'll use your sweet potatoes first, you have to use yourself and then cut ha!" Jiang Huixin said to Master Chen, who was cooking vegetables from afar, at the top of her throat.
"Okay. Master Chen said he heard it.
Add oil to the pot, put the sweet potato pieces in the cold oil, and let them fry slowly, Jiang Huiqin didn't stir it, just waited slowly, and when the skin of the sweet potatoes was all golden and scabbed, she quickly fished them out and drained the oil.
Next is the highlight of the sweet potato, fried sugar and silk.
Stir-fried sugar silk can also be regarded as one of the unique skills in Lu cuisine, honey juice, hanging frost, glaze, silk drawing, fried sugar color is the five steps of fried sugar in the relationship between heat and temperature.
Stir-fried sugar, Jiang Feng will too, anyone who can't even cook dishes, if you follow the video teaching, you can also fry sugar decently, but if you want to really complete the five-step fried sugar and then pull the silk, it will be difficult.
Jiang Huiqin poured sugar and water into the pot and boiled over high heat. After the water boiled, she took the spatula and kept stirring it in a clockwise direction, staring at the pot intently, not daring to slack off at all. When the water in the pot gradually evaporated, the sugar color began to gradually darken, and the sugar water began to bubble, Jiang Huiqin asked the helper to burn the fire a little smaller, and the movements of her hands did not stop, still stirring steadily according to the original speed.
At this time, the sugar water in the pot was barely called syrup, and gradually began to thicken, and when the surface of the syrup was covered with soft bubbles, Jiang Huiqin asked the helper to add firewood to the fire, and when a trace of burnt fragrance wafted out of the pot, she hurriedly seized the time to pour the drained sweet potato on the plate into the pot, and did not forget to let the helper burn the fire a little more.
Quickly stir the sweet potatoes in the pan so that the surface of each sweet potato is stained with syrup, turn the spoon, and remove from the pan.
Each piece of sweet potatoes that have been fried until golden brown is tightly wrapped in a thin layer of syrup, and there are slender strands of sugar between the sweet potatoes and the sweet potatoes. The shredded sweet potatoes glow on the plate, exuding a sweet aroma, golden and crispy.
Jiang Huiqin patted her sleeves and upper body proudly, looked down, and turned around in front of Li Mingyi: "Look, I didn't get it on my body, my new clothes are not dirty! Xiaoqin just likes to worry about the sky, and her name is the same as mine, so she doesn't believe me at all." ”
"Yes, yes, we'll talk about her together after the New Year. Li Mingyi smiled and agreed, "Don't you always say that sweet potatoes should be eaten while they are hot? Why don't you hurry up and bring them to the back hall for grandma to taste." ”
"Wait, I'll have to show Master Chen first. Jiang Huiqin carefully held the sweet potato and approached Master Chen.
Master Chen was deboning the whole chicken, and when he saw Jiang Huiqin coming, he knew what she was going to ask: "You didn't have the right time to pull the silk, and the temperature was not enough, so it was far worse than your brother." ”
Jiang Huiqin's face suddenly became bitter.
"Alright, it's much better than last time. Didn't you go to Taifeng Building yesterday? Why does your brother think that your sister is married, not the Jiang family, and is unwilling to teach you the stunt of drawing silk?" Master Chen is in his forties, watching Jiang Huiqin grow up, she looks very serious, but she likes to joke very much.
"Master Chen, what nonsense are you talking about, didn't my brother teach me that I didn't learn? It's too difficult to cook two pots at the same time, you see that I'm pretty good at this silk, can't you praise me? My brother doesn't praise me, and you don't praise me!" Jiang Huiqin felt that her performance today was actually quite good.
"Okay, okay, young grandma, you burned it very well, much better than the last time you burned it, the old lady will definitely like to serve it while it's hot, wait until it's cold." Master Chen was busy deboning the chickens and said perfunctorily.
Jiang Huiqin put the dishes in the food box and said to Li Ming: "Mingyi, don't give Master Chen red envelopes during the Chinese New Year this year, and don't praise me for the New Year." ”
"Okay. Li Ming smiled and watched Jiang Huiqin come out of the kitchen, before turning his head to Master Chen and saying, "Master Chen, don't worry, I will definitely have to give you the biggest red envelope!"
"Then don't let Huiqin know about it, or she will definitely be angry. Master Chen said with a smile.
"If you don't say it, how will she know!" Li Mingyi was in a good mood and went out to chase Jiang Huiqin.
Jiang Feng thought that this was Li Mingyi's memory, when he first appeared in the kitchen, Jiang Huiqin and Xiaoqin were entangled at the door for a long time before Li Mingyi appeared, thinking that the scope of free movement in this memory was very large, so he wanted to stay in the kitchen to see how Master Chen took off his bones.
Who knew that Li Ming had just taken two steps out of the kitchen when the invisible wall hit Jiang Feng.
Jiang Feng knew that Li Mingyi pretended to have just come over to find Jiang Huiqin, but in fact, he had already hidden from the side and watched the excitement for a long time.
Thief, what a chicken thief!
Jiang Feng rubbed his poor ass and hurriedly trotted to keep up with Li Mingyi's pace.
